“ Authentic Korean BBQ in CBD. I had an amazing dining experience at Hwadam BBQ. From the moment we walked in, the service was warm and attentive. The staff helped us choose a great combination of meats and side dishes. The quality of the meat was outstanding and cooked perfectly on the grill right at our table. The oyster blade and chuck eye were especially delicious. It can get busy during dinner hours, so I’d recommend booking ahead. ”

“ Had a lovely experience at Hwadam Bbq in a Friday night, pretty busy and had a 90min dining time. We ordered the combo as well as cold noodles and vegetable dumplings. It made for a satisfying meal for 5 of us, would recommend ordering a little more if you’re super hungry. The meat was soft and flavourful, I especially liked the marinated beef, the sides were nice and unlimited and the lettuce was also provided. I would have enjoyed some more herbed leaves. ”

“ Had dinner at Hwadam Korean BBQ and absolutely loved it! Four of us ordered two different 2-person sets, way more value and plenty of food. The wagyu short ribs were my favourite, super juicy and tender. What’s cool is that each set comes with sushi rice, so you can DIY your own Korean-style sushi! I had so much fun making my own bites with short ribs, kimchi, and chilli. The set also included veggies like pumpkin and mushrooms, and the sides and lettuce are refillable. Definitely worth checking out! ”

“ Ended up at Hwadam Korean BBQ after Mansae was too packed—and honestly, no regrets. This place holds its own. The meat quality was impressive, especially the Wagyu premium set; most cuts had great texture and were spot on. What really stood out was the service—staff were super attentive with side refills, helped us cook our meats, and were always ready to assist with anything we needed. The corn cheese was pretty standard, nothing fancy, but it did the job. The kimchi/army stew was thick and hearty—at first it was just okay, but it definitely grew on me as a solid complement to all the meat. All in all, glad we landed here. Would come back. ”

“ A hidden gem under my friend’s apartment—I’d walked past so many times without noticing! Cozy private rooms, super easy iPad ordering, and really reasonable BBQ prices ($40–50pp for a full table). The meat was fresh, staff helped with grilling, and I loved the pork belly. The cold noodles tasted just like Yanji, and side dishes had unlimited refills. Attentive service and a warm little spot—I’ll be back! ”

“ I bring every friend who visits Australia here to eat Wagyu. The meat is excellent. A Wagyu platter lets you enjoy different cuts of beef. They will help customers to cook. The side dishes are free and unlimited. I love the seafood pancakes. ”

“ Came here with a friend and had their Combo Platter for 2–3 plus a beef soybean paste soup. The meat quality was excellent wagyu and pork belly were juicy and flavorful, brisket thin and smoky, and the marinated bulgogi had a nice sweet aroma. What really stood out was the service: the staff grilled all the meat for us, making sure it was cooked perfectly, so we could just relax and enjoy. Side dishes were unlimited refills, and the staff always came over proactively to check if we wanted more. The sushi rice balls were soft, slightly tangy, with sesame and seaweed aroma perfect to balance the richness of the meat. ”

“ Absolutely loved my experience at Hwadam Korean BBQ! We ordered the BBQ Set ($99) and the quality was outstanding – every cut of meat was fresh, tender, and grilled to perfection right at the table. The flavors were rich and so satisfying. We also tried: Kimchi Soup – warm, spicy, and comforting, the perfect balance to the BBQ. Seafood Pancake – crispy on the outside, soft and savory inside, packed with seafood. The portions were generous, the ingredients tasted fresh, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Such a great spot in the city for authentic Korean BBQ – highly recommend if you’re craving a delicious feast! ”
